News You Can Bruise for 2003 October 21

Permalink [Comments] (5) Tue Oct 21 2003 17:45 Then, Her Sari Flaps In The Wind!:

I've been reading articles about how Bollywood is stuck in a formulaic rut and not making money, so I'm writing a spec script guaranteed to inject new blood into the industry. It's about a plucky singing-and-dancing cricket team, lead by a boisterous Sikh who falls in love with a mysterious village girl. They defeat the Pakistanis[0] and the British to win the World Cup. Then, there are dinosaurs. I haven't worked out all the details yet.

[0] The test match against Pakistan is a separate one-hour chunk which can be deleted from the Pakistan release of the film.

Obviously the village girl is a dinosaur.

The dinosaur lost his sight as a child caught in a botched murder of vengeance, but had his eyes replaced by those of his friend who died in that murder. Now he wears sunglasses as a symbol of his life's work: to shatter the city's crime wave using only flying leg-grabs.
